You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside

Whatever else you do, listen to your Deepest Self. Love Her and be true to Her, speak Her truth, always.

You forgive what you can, when you can. That's all you can do.To forgive does not mean overlooking the offense and pretending it never happened. Forgiveness means releasing our rage and our need to retaliate, no longer dwelling on the offense, the offender, and the suffering, and rising to a higher love. It is an act of letting go so that we ourselves can go on.

You create a path of your own by looking within yourself and listening to your soul, cultivating your own ways of experiencing the sacred and then practicing it. Practicing until you make it a song that sings you.

Into every life a little rain must fall.
